Half Face Blades Ishi Fixed Blade 3.7in Plain Armor Black Drop Point

The Half Face Blades Ishi is a purpose-driven fixed blade designed for users who rely on their gear in the most demanding environments. Crafted in the USA with an uncompromising approach to quality and performance, the Ishi stands as a testament to precision blade-making and functional design. Built for the field, this knife blends tactical resilience with minimalist beauty, making it a trusted tool whether you're on the trail, in the shop, or operating in the unknown.

The heart of the Ishi is a 3.7-inch drop point blade made from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel. This high-performance steel offers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance—qualities that make it perfect for long-term reliability and hard-use scenarios. The plain edge design ensures clean, efficient cuts across a wide range of materials, while the drop point profile provides strength at the tip and controlled slicing power along the curve. Whether you're processing wood, opening packages, or handling precise cutting tasks, this blade gets it done without hesitation.

Finished in an Armor Black Cerakote coating, the blade is not only shielded from the elements but also features a sleek, tactical aesthetic. This durable finish resists abrasion, corrosion, and glare, making it ideal for both high-stakes operations and everyday tasks. Full tang construction runs the length of the knife, delivering optimal strength and balance with every cut.

The handle is designed for confident control and all-day comfort. Made from black canvas Micarta, the Iron Grip handle is shaped for ergonomics and traction, giving you a solid hold in wet, dry, or gloved conditions. Micarta is a proven material in the knife world for good reason—it’s tough, lightweight, and gets grippier as the work gets harder. Titanium Torx bolts secure the handle scales for rock-solid durability while adding a clean, industrial accent. A lanyard slot at the rear offers flexible carry options and added utility in the field.

With an overall length of 7.7 inches and a lean .13-inch blade thickness, the Ishi is compact enough to carry every day but robust enough to tackle serious work. It comes equipped with a custom-molded black Kydex sheath and a belt clip for secure, low-profile carry. Quick to deploy and built to stay put, the sheath ensures the knife is ready when you are.

Made proudly in the USA, the Ishi embodies the rugged craftsmanship and performance that Half Face Blades is known for. Every line, every angle, and every component has been thoughtfully executed to meet the needs of professionals, adventurers, and collectors alike.
